Overwater 1983 Original Shape Fretless

4ohms, all the Bass 2x12's are 4ohms but if you've got 2 you can run them in parallel at 8ohms

South East Bass Bash No.7, Surrey, Saturday 21st September 2013
tayste_2000 replied to silverfoxnik's topic in Events
Just had a quick chat with Matamp, if I can gome down (in my Mate's van) I'll swing by the factory and grab a load of the demo stock for people to try if you guys want, they've got quite a few prototype cabs lying around and maybe just maybe I can sneak the proto hybrid out of there (no promises though) -
[quote name='Amo' timestamp='1373637589' post='2140008'] Alright, thanks man. I'll give Hayden a call and sort everything with him. Was it an unfinished one ? (I mean no tolex and stuff) [/quote] No it's finished, it currently doesn't have a badge, it's in black smooth tolex with black grill cloth, very ninja

Well if you're interested in it, it's basically Matamp Demo stock let me know and I'll let you know how much they want and they can sort the shipping out with you. Might be a good way to go and try one, its certainly available for a price that isn't going to cause you any issues if you don't like it and want to sell it Maybe have a look at Barefaced as I tried them recentl;y with Matamp, very much not my tone but had a hella amount of treble available.

If you have an older 2 band GT200 the 2x12 is pretty much the same width. I actually have a brand new Matamp 2x12 that I borrowed from the Matamp showroom (subsequently decided to stick with my 8x10 and the new head) you're welcome to come try it, it will be a lot cheaper than custom ordering one. Drivers are Celestion Tru-voice, personally I love them they are small and light (for Matamp cabs) and they sound great, but I have an 8x10 and the new heads don't fit on them and I prefer 1 big and heavy thing over 2 small and light things so 8x10 over 2 2x12's for me, but it would sound AMAZING, definately a richer fuller sound than the 6x10 which is a bit toppy for me. Hope this helps

VT Bass Deluxe also functions as an A/B box to switch basses and has a nice handy fx loop for all your pedals to sit in. Currently I'm using the Radial Bassbone, for what I do it's great but I DI from it rarely I use it more to have a master fx loop switch and be able to switch 2 very different basses and get the volumes matched. Also the 15v it runs on is a pita unless you have a gigrig power supply. In the past I had great experience with the MXR M-80 but as a clean di and eq the distortion on it isn't very good. The VT Bass is definately on my list to try and I may switch to the VT Bass Deluxe over the Bass Bone as it does the same functions and I believe can give me 3 settings per A/B so basically 3 settings per bass which would be cool and all the connections are in one place so I wouldn't have the issue I have with the Bass Bone, where I have to run my tuner last and outside of the loop so I can have an output I can actually reach on the pedal, but this means if I tune and use the DI signal with still go to FOH (not good) but that said I largely DI off the amp with a Radial JDI to get all my valvey goodness.

Up for sale is my rare Earthbound Audio Beast fuzz, this is a Muff boutique clone. Basically it's the Earthbound Supercollider which is one hell of a stoner fuzz, very thick full and rich, definately up there as one of the best Muff clones I've heard, in addition to all the tones of the Suppercollider it also features two switches that make the pedal oscilate and then you can do all sorts of crazy fun things, but I've got a Mojo Hand BMP-1 inbound and really this takes up a lot of room on my crowded pedalboard and because of the way I use everything in a buffered loop I can't take advantage of the oscilation so that extra size is a bit of a waste to me. More info can be found here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/38642-earthbound-audio-supercollider-oscillating-beast/ http://gearfanatic.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/earthbound-audio-%E2%80%93-supercollider-beast/ Some pics of it on the board Open to trades on Tone Factor Cream Pie, Pearl OC-07, but that's pretty much it. £100 Cheers

Yeah it does but it's changing all the time, I'm only sending one box at the moment to Janek and the other box when full will go direct to Africa. But I'm happy to give as I don't change strings very often these days it's good to be involved. Also speaking to Royal Mail as they do some work where they will cover some/all of the postage for charities of this nature. But I'm more than happy to cover shipping them wherever Janek wants them, so don't worry about sending them to me as it's evolving and it's more and more likely I'll be shipping directly to the people in need. Cheers

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1373551766' post='2138957'] I've never played in front of anyone (and don't intend to!) but can bring along my 1960s VOX Clubman & Bassmaster, Burns Sonic, WEM Sapphire for a bit of novelty value against all of the exotica on view! Anyone is welcome to play them. Just let me know if it's a good idea and i'll bring them. [/quote] I'd love to play everything you just listed -

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1373549151' post='2138929'] Now that's what I call dedication! Fantastic - it'll be really good to see you there... [/quote] Well no one runs any good bass bash's in the NW (I've tried to do a few, no one ever turned up) So it's worth the travel and be nice for people to try more Matamp gear out as it can be a trek for you guys to get to the factory. Me and Jack will have the loud bits covered -

Weight is about 10.5lbs, I only have a scale with a needle and it weighs me very accurately but obviously allow for some variance.

Overwater 1983 Original Shape Fretless

I have up for sale my beautiful (and mostly unused by me) Overwater fretless, I bought this last year from a great guy who had basically kept it under his bed for the past 10-15 years, as such the fretboard has very little wear and the bass is in great condition, it's got some wear but I've tried to show these as best as possible in the pics. Basically I bought it because I love this shape and since I've had so many changes in my life that I haven't touched it really since getting it (never played fretless before) I have no need for it in my music projects, etc etc. It has a figured trans blue top and then you can see the finished wood on the back in a brown, I believe it's mahogany neck thru. The pickup covers are wood or wood effect (if it's wood effect it's a really damn good effect). The interesting point of this bass is it only features an xlr out and has a filter based preamp that is original to the bass but I've never really come across in an Overwater before, as there is no jack there is a small flick switch which serves as a an off switch for the bass so your batteries don't constantly die, I will include a suitable xlr to jack cable with the sale of the bass. It's the blue one on the left (though the brown/tabacco burst one on the right is also for sale) So in getting it, it's been professionally setup with a set of Overwater Light guage stainless steel rounds (mwah for days) the action is really really low, it's just amazing to play. I've added a Schaller style Hipshot de-tuner (though original tuner will be included) As this didn't come with a case and I had two for my other Overwater original (also for sale) so this comes with either a fitted Aluminium ATA case or an original late 70's leather covered Overwater hardcase (the other bass has the same option so it will be very much a first come, first serve) Pics below (these are from when I bought it but the bass is in the same condition only as stated with the hipshot added) [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/2mfk7ew.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/2ebeeiv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/2efq2ox.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/2d7cw38.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/miyr0x.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/bezw37.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/2qm21iv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/6pvypy.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/2lkppqp.jpg[/IMG] Not looking for any trades at the moment, cheers

My number 2 bass for many years, it's been taken to a lot of gigs but not used unless I broke a string or just fancied a change. It's an absolutely lovely bass, diamond inlays, binding up the neck, neck thru mahogany. 2 custom Bill Lawrence Pickups, I had the bass rewired professionally when I first got it as stock these come passive, master volume, front volume, rear volume, master tone. I had it change to front volume, rear volume, front tone, rear tone. Additionally I had a push pull put on the first volume knob so you could coil split the front pickup. It was only recently when having it setup by another tech that I learned the reason we never did the same on the rear pickup is one coil isn't working, now I've never noticed because the bass sounds so big and full. I've toyed with getting a replacement but end of the day there isn't really a proper replacement for a handwound 70's bill lawrence pickup so I've left it, it sounds so good as it is but this is why the bass is so low priced considering it's rarity. There is actually a replacement available but the company is only Bill Lawrence in name and he's had nothing to do with them for such a long time. It's the brown/tabacco burst one on the right (though the blue one on the left is also for sale) I'll get some more pictures tonight So it's been professionally setup with a set of Overwater standard guage stainless steel rounds, the neck is nice and straight, I had the truss rod nut replaced recently as the last one had been stripped over the years so there is now plenty of adjustment left in the neck (please note there is no issue with the neck, truss rod, I just had the bit you put an allen key in replaced as it was a bit worn). I've added a Schaller style Hipshot de-tuner (though original tuner will be included) As this didn't come with a case and I had two for my other Overwater original (also for sale) so this comes with either a fitted Aluminium ATA case or an original late 70's leather covered Overwater hardcase (the other bass has the same option so it will be very much a first come, first serve) This is one of Chris May's early basses a real rarity and going for an absolute bargain.
